Re: We all start somewhere...

OP did mention cropping. I'm not going to do the maths now but if you stood where you would stand for a head/shoulders portarit shot using your 45mm and switched to a 17mm and then cropped the picture to head/shoulders then how much distortion would there be? The cropping would be severe but on a high megapixel sensor would the quality be sufficient for your average 6x4 and 10x8 prints?
